ADELANTO — Through the first two rounds of DSL play, the Burroughs girls basketball team has a perfect league mark. The Div. 3A, No. 8-ranked Burros beat Adelanto 55-15 on the road Tuesday night for a 10th straight league victory."They did well tonight — they jumped on them really quick and did a nice job," Burros head coach Robert Campbell said.Burroughs (16-1, 10-0 DSL) had control from the start in a decisive victory. The Burros led 19-2 after the first quarter and held a 34-3 lead at halftime.After halftime, Burroughs remained in front en route to an easy victory. The Burros had a 45-10 lead headed into the fourth quarter and went on to win by 40 points.Guard Aubrey Hayes scored a game-high 14 points — all in the first half — to go along with six steals in the victory. Forward Brianna Moore also scored in double figures, finishing with 12 points and eight assists."In the second half, Brianna did a really nice job — she hit some inside shots and some outside shots. She shoots the ball really well once she gets going," Campbell said. "It was a nice game for her."Forward Chantia Jennings delivered a solid all-around performance against Adelanto — she scored eight points, pulled down eight rebounds and had four steals. Guard Tasi Ramon led the Burros with a team-high six assists.Five days removed from sustaining a left thigh contusion against Victor Valley, guard Alex Simmons saw limited action on Tuesday night. Simmons practiced on Monday, and played with her left leg wrapped against Adelanto. "I just wanted to see how she could play — we didn't need to push it tonight," Campbell said. "It's not going to go away — it's a deep bruise and she's going to have some pain. When she came out she said it felt pretty good — we wrap it and hope she doesn't get hit on it."Burroughs is undefeated in the DSL through two rounds of league play, and has a league title in its sights. The Burros begin the final round of league play at home against Barstow on Thursday. "It would be really neat to go the distance undefeated, but we can't look ahead," Campbell said. "It's a good spot to be in and we'll see if we can't knock them off one at a time."
